19.09.2024 22:00 1 min. read Alexander Stefanov
The Block reports that the Banana Gun team is currently investigating reports of a user wallet breach and has temporarily shut down the platform.
Several community members have reported that wallets linked to the Banana Gun Telegram bot have been compromised, resulting in drained assets.
One community member, known as yannickcrypto.eth, stated that approximately 563 ETH (about $1.4 million) has been stolen so far, affecting 36 victims.
However, they noted that there isn’t enough evidence to confirm that Banana Gun itself was hacked.
